NGINX

If you want to serve the web interface of the SinusBot encrypted or with the rest of your website, you usually want to setup a reverse proxy. Most of the time, you already have a webserver (like Apache2 or nginx) in place, which you can use to forward the incoming traffic to the SinusBot.

First you need to add a DNS record (for example an A-record) that points from your subdomain (e.g. sinusbot) to the IP of your server.

After that, create a file at /etc/nginx/sites-available/sinusbot.conf with the following content.

In the config files below you need to adjust the value of the following variables:

• server_name (domain/subdomain)
• proxy_pass (local address of your sinusbot)
• ssl_certificate (SSL only)
• ssl_certificate_key (SSL only)

If you are using no SSL (http):

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    # Set your domain here:
    server_name sinusbot.example.com;
    client_max_body_size 200M;

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/sinusbot.access.log;
    error_log   /var/log/nginx/sinusbot.error.log;

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8087;
    }
}

If you are using SSL (https) with http->https redirect:

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    # Set your domain here:
    server_name sinusbot.example.com;

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/sinusbot.access.log;
    error_log   /var/log/nginx/sinusbot.error.log;

    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;

    # Set your domain here:
    server_name sinusbot.example.com;
    client_max_body_size 200M;

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/sinusbot.access.log;
    error_log   /var/log/nginx/sinusbot.error.log;

    # Set the path to your ssl cert here:
    ssl on;
    ssl_certificate /opt/ssl/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /opt/ssl/privkey.pem;

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8087;
    }
}

Afterwards you need to link the file to the sites-enabled directory:

ln -sf /etc/nginx/sites-available/sinusbot.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled

Check for errors:

nginx -t

Reload nginx:

nginx -s reload

Now just follow the common adaptations for reverse proxies.
